Book Description
Numerous economic and political events have unfolded in California and the nation since the California Postsecondary Education Commission released its statewide higher education enrollment projections in year 2000 and a series of regional enrollment studies published between 2001 and April 2003. This current report represents a major update to the Commission's previous enrollment studies by projecting public undergraduate enrollment demand under various economic circumstances for the 10-year period, 2003 to 2010. Also included are analyses related to institutional classroom capacity and instructional marginal cost funding per full-time equivalent student. Among the major findings are the following: (1) as California's economy and fiscal outlook improves, the Commission anticipates that undergraduate demand will increase at a moderate annual rate and will total 2.83 million by year 2013--the expected growth represents a 34 percent increase in demand over the number of undergraduates participating in public colleges and universities during Fall 2003; (2) when the Commission's undergraduate forecast is combined with the Department of Finance's most recent graduate projections, enrollment demand is shown to total 2.96 million by 2013, representing about 741,000 additional students; (3) to meet demand in year 2013, the Commission's analysis suggests that approximately $3.1 billion more in instructional-related funding will be required than is currently provided through a combination of State General Fund Support and Student Fee Revenue--the cost estimate does not include additional funds that will be needed for capital outlay projects and student support services; (4) based on the State's current classroom space and utilization standards, the physical plant of California's higher education enterprise will need to be expanded appreciably unless significant efficiencies can be obtained from strategic initiatives related to year-around operations, intersegmental joint facility use, distance/distributed learning, and student-learning productivity. Appended are: (1) Public Undergraduate Enrollment Projections from Department of Finance's 2003 Projection Series; and (2) Commission's Undergraduate Forecast Combined with Department of Finance's Graduate Projections, 2003-2013.

Book Description
The dream of public higher education in America is to provide opportunity for many and to offer transformative help to American communities and the economy. Expanding Opportunity in Higher Education explores the massive challenges facing California and the nation in realizing this goal during a time of enormous demographic change. The immediate focus on California is particularly appropriate given the size of the state—it educates one out of every nine students in the country—and its checkered political record with respect to civil rights and educational inequities. The book includes essays not only by academics looking at the state's educational system as a whole, but also by those within the policy system who are trying to keep it going in difficult times. The contributors show that the destiny of California, and the nation, rests on the courage of policymakers, both within the universities and within the government, to move aggressively to reclaim the hope of millions of students who can make enormous contributions to this society if only given the chance.

Book Description
"Affordability, access, and accountability will continue to be hot-button issues as legislators at all levels address constituents' concerns about their children's future; inevitably, as a result, these legislators become more proactively involved in shaping public colleges' budgets, policies, and mandates. Any administrator who wants to gain a deeper understanding of these issues than can be gleaned from a presidential candidates' debate might do well to spend some time with these essays." -- University Business

Book Description
Higher education in the United States is a complex and multilayered system where open-access community colleges coexist with highly selective, 4-year institutions to which only a handful of students each year gain access. Each institution plays a unique role in this marketplace, and students across the spectrum engage with the system at different--and often, multiple--levels. Much of the national debate about postsecondary education in the United States in recent years has centered on the pervasive gaps in access to, and success in, higher education--across racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, or gender lines. This discourse typically takes a narrow view, focusing on one type of institution (e.g., for-profit colleges) or one type of student (e.g., low-income, first-generation students). Much of this popular narrative misses the forest for the trees, failing to situate individual students' contexts in the larger narrative of supply and demand in the higher education marketplace. This research brief, along with its companion brief, aims for a wider lens by including the universe of postsecondary institutions in the United States and situating the racial/ethnic gaps in college enrollment in the context of the changing American demographic. This brief takes a data-based approach to describing trends in college admission, primarily focusing on how the changing face of the U.S. high school graduate has translated into the shifting demographic of the U.S. first-time college student. Data used in the following analyses come from the U.S. Department of Education's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and the Private School Survey, as well as from the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). This brief unfolds in three parts: First, the authors briefly describe the high-level trends in high school graduation and college enrollment, paying special attention to the outcomes of different race/ethnic groups. They then disaggregate college enrollment by college institution level and examine how different racial/ethnic groups interact with the system at different levels, and finally, briefly identify a few key trends in the migration patterns in higher education market. A bibliography is included. [For the companion brief "Supply and Demand in the Higher Education Market: College Admission and College Choice," see ED562849.].
